THE WOMAN THAT MATTERS
Funmilayo Ajifola
To
matter in a society or an environment simply means to be
relevant, significant, valuable and important.
Every woman want to be a significant being in the society,
every Wife want her husband to place extreme Value on her and
treat her with care and regard, and every Mother want to be
Important to their children at all times.
No woman want to be treated as a 'second class citizen' or
trash as is done in certain societies. Every woman want to be
relevant in her world.
As a matter of fact, it is not only the woman that has this
desire, it is the desire and plan of God for every woman to be
of great value and importance to her generation. God does not
want her treated as a trash or irrelevant being, He wants her to
be a significant force in the society. He (God) want her
opinions and suggestions treated and handled with respect, and
her contributions regarded.
It is my belief that this world would be an extremely boring place
without women. I’ll like you to imagine for a moment, how
it would look like if every one on earth were men, I guess the world
have been meaningless and Lifeless.
In Genesis chapter 2 vs. 18 after God has created the man and put
him in charge and control of all creation, God knew the man would
be too lonely in the garden and won't be able to fulfil his assignment.
God knew the man could not succeed the way he should without an
important personality by his side.
And finally in Genesis chapter 3 vs. 21&22
And God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, took one of his ribs,
made a woman and brought her unto the man.
One thing I know about God is that He is not a waster!
He doesn’t make things just for the fun of it. Woman, YOU
ARE IMPORTANT !. God would not have laboured so much to make you
if you are of no value. He needs you to bring his purpose and desire
for man and humanity to pass.
However Woman, you’ve got a part to play too. You can’t
matter in your generation if you do not matter to God! You cannot
be positively relevant in the society if you are not significant
in the kingdom of God. You need to set your priorities right and
let the love of your redeemer fill your heart.
Every woman that matters positively in the scriptures
and even in our days, did not attain their status outside God's
influence. To be relevant, you need to allow Jesus take over your
entire life, not just a part.
If you want your husband to treat you with value and importance,
then all you need do to submit yourself to God and allow him (God)
teach you how to wisely submit to and reverence your husband. As
you relate with your spouse through the wisdom of God, the only
choice he has is to love, cherish respect and value you.
Proverbs 31 vs. 30b says
a woman
that fears the Lord , she shall be praised. (KJV).
In
the same vein, a woman that fears the Lord, shall be Relevant,
Important, significant, Celebrated and MATTER IN HER GENERATION!
